FuelBelt Revenge R20 Product Review & Giveaway

Unless you are living under a rock, you are fully aware of who FuelBelt (HERE) is and how awesome their hydration packs and water bottles are? Their waist packs are at every marathon start line, their handhelds are carried on every training run and their storage pockets hold your energy gels and car keys.

But .... have you heard about the new FuelBelt Revenge Series (HERE)??

The Revenge Series is a break through in hydration belt design and function. One handed entry and exit has never been easier with othe unique and cleverly designed molded holsters. With just one hand, the bottles go in fast and come out faster. The great news is that these holsters will work with all past and present FuelBelt bottles. The new design is super lightweight and available in both a Custom Fit (S, M, L) and a One Size Fits All.

I was sent the Revenge R20 in Hibiscus Pink (HERE).I own another FuelBelt, but I must admit that I really love this newer model a lot more. It was more comfortable and the bottles were easier to remove and put back in the holster. I tend not to like running with things around my waist, and even complained about "phantom tummy aches" with the older model I reviewed. But, this waist pack was comfortable, didn't shift or bounce, didn't cause chaffing and was easy to maneuver while in motion.

The extra zippered pocket would be great for gels, cash, keys and small cellular phones.

I used this for a seven miler and was scared to try it on anything longer than that, especially my recent marathon. But, it was good for a mid-distance run for now until I get the courage to try something new for a long distance. I still prefer my handheld water bottles.

If you're not girly and not into pink, the Revenge R20 is sold in a variety of colors online: basic black, white and gray ... and orange, lime, shades of blue and some really bright, fun color combinations ... check it out!

Retail price is $41.95. This would be a great item to add to your holiday wish list!
